Basically RedHat changed their source code policy and have ostracized the open source community.

I don’t unfortunately. This is from a conversation I had with a researcher in VM escape.

As far as I’m aware peripherals are not actually passed through exactly but rather emulated on the guest machine. When you pass through a peripheral you’re only passing the input of that device, data is not sent upstream.

Whereas passing through the GPU you’re providing a means of accessing non-emulated devices through the hardware itself bypassing the isolation provided by virtualization entirely.

GPU passthroughs can expose the host to a potentially compromised VM.

Not great but better than it used to be. Don’t do a GPU passthrough.

I’ll give that a try, thanks!

Yeah I would love a Discord alternative that I could actually convince my friends to use.
